I'm going to install an antenna with a ground plane tube on the lower portion (about 24 inches) Question; Is it OK to mount the antenna on the side of my motorhome with only the antenna portion sticking up above the roof ? It'll probably be just fine, though in theory, it's better to have it all higher than the roof. It works fine somewhat below the roof line on my MH. Get an SWR meter and check the SWR with the antenna in the position you want it. Doesn't have to be mounted, but just have it stuck in a piece of wood or something you can easily put there temporarily. If the SWR is less than 2, great. Less than 3, OK. More than 3, try another position. -- ----- Replace "SPAM" with "charter" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA
